I bought a wellness book at a yard sale the other day and found to be full of great information! The title of the book is "The Doctors Book of Home Remedies" by the editors of Prevention Magazine Health books. I read about acne and pimples and learned that people who are susceptible to those challenges need to avoid certain foods and products such as fish oil, which can cause break outs. My husband can't take fish oil without having a break out problem. The fish oil is too oily for his body type. Watch your intake of fish and monitor what happens when you eat fish.
According to the book, foods high in iodine can also cause breakouts. Some of these foods would be: iodized salts, kelp, seaweed, beef liver, turkey, asparagus,. The Kelp is the highest source, being over 1,000 ppm (parts per million) and the other foods are only in the hundreds ppm. Dr. Fulton, a contributor to the book, says that he doesn't currently know at what level the iodides could bring on an acne attack, but he warns "excessive long term ingestion can induce acne attacks."
Also:
Most water has fluoride. According to my daughter's dermatologist, fluoride can cause an allergic reaction in many people. The fluoride alone could be causing break outs.
If you are experiencing pimples, it is a good possibility that the lanolin in your lotions and creams may be clogging the pores. Here is a lotion recipe that I created for some of my clients who are having break out problems. They tell me it helps their skin feel soft and nourished:
75% aloe vera gel (without dyes)
20% vegetable glycerin
5 % beauty water*
1 capsule Evening Primrose oil (optional)
6-7 drops of your favorite Young Living Therapeutic grade essential oil
*The beauty water is a setting from my Kangen water ionizer by Enagic.
